Enjoy an exciting day of hands on cheese making with Jean Mansfield. You will create and take home your own artisan cheeses to impress your friends and family. All equipment and ingredients are provided including a gourmet lunch. We will be using cow’s milk but if you have access to goat’s or sheep milk you are welcome to bring it along. We will pasteurize the milk in class as part of the cheese making workshop.
